Marquise D. Solomon was 40 when he was found with gunshot wounds in a church parking lot at State and Swan streets in Schenectady on the evening of June 18, 2015. He was taken to Ellis Hospital and then Albany Medical Center Hospital, where he died on June 22, 2015. A father of four, Solomon worked as a kitchen aide in Saratoga County; family and friends said he was trying to provide a better future for his children and turn his life around. He had survived a previous drive-by shooting in 2002.

Investigators determined the shooting occurred during a robbery by two assailants and reviewed area surveillance footage, but the case later went cold. As of late 2022 no arrests had been announced and no suspects publicly identified; the Schenectady Police Department continues to seek information. If anyone knew Marquise or has information about the robbery and the two assailants, please come forward.
